< 1 John 4 >

1 Dearly beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits if they be of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
ܚܒܝܒܝ ܠܐ ܠܟܠ ܪܘܚܝܢ ܬܗܝܡܢܘܢ ܐܠܐ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܦܪܫܝܢ ܪܘܚܐ ܐܢ ܡܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܐܝܬܝܗܝܢ ܡܛܠ ܕܤܓܝܐܐ ܢܒܝܐ ܕܓܠܐ ܢܦܩܘ ܒܗ ܒܥܠܡܐ
2 By this is the spirit of God known. Every spirit which confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh, is of God:
ܒܗܕܐ ܡܬܝܕܥܐ ܪܘܚܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܟܠ ܪܘܚܐ ܕܡܘܕܝܢ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܐܬܐ ܒܒܤܪ ܡܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܗܝ
3 And every spirit that dissolveth Jesus, is not of God: and this is Antichrist, of whom you have heard that he cometh, and he is now already in the world.
ܘܟܠ ܪܘܚܐ ܕܠܐ ܡܘܕܝܐ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܐܬܐ ܒܒܤܪ ܠܝܬܝܗ ܡܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܐܠܐ ܗܕܐ ܡܢ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܗܝ ܕܓܠܐ ܗܘ ܕܫܡܥܬܘܢ ܕܐܬܐ ܘܗܫܐ ܒܥܠܡܐ ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܡܢ ܟܕܘ
4 You are of God, little children, and have overcome him. Because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܡܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܐܝܬܝܟܘܢ ܒܢܝܐ ܘܙܟܝܬܘܢ ܐܢܘܢ ܡܛܠ ܕܪܒ ܗܘ ܕܒܟܘܢ ܡܢ ܗܘ ܕܒܥܠܡܐ
5 They are of the world: therefore of the world they speak, and the world heareth them.
ܘܗܠܝܢ ܡܢ ܥܠܡܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܡܢ ܥܠܡܐ ܡܡܠܠܝܢ ܘܥܠܡܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܫܡܥ
6 We are of God. He that knoweth God, heareth us. He that is not of God, heareth us not. By this we know the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.
ܚܢܢ ܕܝܢ ܡܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܚܢܢ ܘܗܘ ܕܝܕܥ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܫܡܥ ܠܢ ܘܗܘ ܕܠܐ ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܡܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܠܐ ܫܡܥ ܠܢ ܒܗ ܒܗܕܐ ܡܤܬܟܠܝܢܢ ܠܪܘܚܐ ܕܫܪܪܐ ܘܠܪܘܚܐ ܕܡܛܥܝܢܘܬܐ
7 Dearly beloved, let us love one another, for charity is of God. And every one that loveth, is born of God, and knoweth God.
ܚܒܝܒܝ ܢܚܒ ܚܕ ܠܚܕ ܡܛܠ ܕܚܘܒܐ ܡܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܗܘ ܘܟܠ ܡܢ ܕܡܚܒ ܡܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܝܠܝܕ ܘܝܕܥ ܠܐܠܗܐ
8 He that loveth not, knoweth not God: for God is charity.
ܡܛܠ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܚܘܒܐ ܗܘ ܘܟܠ ܕܠܐ ܡܚܒ ܠܐ ܝܕܥ ܠܐܠܗܐ
9 By this hath the charity of God appeared towards us, because God hath sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we may live by him.
ܒܗܕܐ ܐܬܝܕܥ ܚܘܒܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܕܠܘܬܢ ܕܠܒܪܗ ܝܚܝܕܝܐ ܫܕܪ ܐܠܗܐ ܠܥܠܡܐ ܕܢܚܐ ܒܐܝܕܗ
10 In this is charity: not as though we had loved God, but because he hath first loved us, and sent his Son to be a propitiation for our sins.
ܒܗܢܐ ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܚܘܒܐ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܕܚܢܢ ܐܚܒܢ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܐܠܐ ܗܘ ܐܚܒܢ ܘܫܕܪ ܠܒܪܗ ܚܘܤܝܐ ܥܠ ܐܦܝ ܚܛܗܝܢ
11 My dearest, if God hath so loved us; we also ought to love one another.
ܚܒܝܒܝ ܐܢ ܗܟܢܐ ܐܚܒܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܐܦ ܚܢܢ ܚܝܒܝܢܢ ܚܕ ܠܚܕ ܠܡܚܒܘ
12 No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God abideth in us, and his charity is perfected in us.
ܠܐܠܗܐ ܡܡܬܘܡ ܐܢܫ ܠܐ ܚܙܝܗܝ ܐܢ ܕܝܢ ܢܚܒ ܚܕ ܠܚܕ ܐܠܗܐ ܒܢ ܡܩܘܐ ܘܚܘܒܗ ܡܫܬܡܠܐ ܒܢ
13 In this we know that we abide in him, and he in us: because he hath given us of his spirit.
ܘܒܗܕܐ ܝܕܥܝܢܢ ܕܒܗ ܡܩܘܝܢܢ ܘܗܘ ܡܩܘܐ ܒܢ ܕܡܢ ܪܘܚܗ ܝܗܒ ܠܢ
14 And we have seen, and do testify, that the Father hath sent his Son to be the Saviour of the world.
ܘܚܢܢ ܚܙܝܢ ܘܡܤܗܕܝܢܢ ܕܐܒܐ ܫܕܪ ܠܒܪܗ ܦܪܘܩܐ ܠܥܠܡܐ
15 Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God abideth in him, and he in God.
ܟܠ ܕܡܘܕܐ ܒܝܫܘܥ ܕܗܘܝܘ ܒܪܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܐܠܗܐ ܒܗ ܡܩܘܐ ܘܗܘ ܡܩܘܐ ܒܐܠܗܐ
16 And we have known, and have believed the charity, which God hath to us. God is charity: and he that abideth in charity, abideth in God, and God in him.
ܘܚܢܢ ܗܝܡܢܢ ܘܝܕܥܢ ܚܘܒܐ ܕܐܝܬ ܠܗ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܨܐܕܝܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܓܝܪ ܚܘܒܐ ܗܘ ܘܟܠ ܕܡܩܘܐ ܒܚܘܒܐ ܒܐܠܗܐ ܡܩܘܐ
17 In this is the charity of God perfected with us, that we may have confidence in the day of judgment: because as he is, we also are in this world.
ܘܒܗܕܐ ܡܫܬܠܡ ܚܘܒܗ ܥܡܢ ܕܓܠܝܘܬ ܐܦܐ ܬܗܘܐ ܠܢ ܒܝܘܡܐ ܕܕܝܢܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܐܝܟ ܕܗܘܐ ܗܘ ܗܟܢܐ ܐܦ ܚܢܢ ܐܝܬܝܢ ܒܗܢܐ ܥܠܡܐ
18 Fear is not in charity: but perfect charity casteth out fear, because fear hath pain. And he that feareth, is not perfected in charity.
ܕܚܠܬܐ ܒܚܘܒܐ ܠܝܬ ܐܠܐ ܚܘܒܐ ܡܫܡܠܝܐ ܠܒܪ ܫܕܐ ܠܗ ܠܕܚܠܬܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܕܚܠܬܐ ܒܩܢܛܐ ܐܝܬܝܗ ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܕܕܚܠ ܠܐ ܡܫܡܠܝ ܒܚܘܒܐ
19 Let us therefore love God, because God first hath loved us.
ܚܢܢ ܗܟܝܠ ܢܚܒ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܗܘ ܩܕܡܝܬ ܐܚܒܢ
20 If any man say, I love God, and hateth his brother; he is a liar. For he that loveth not his brother, whom he seeth, how can he love God, whom he seeth not?
ܐܢ ܕܝܢ ܐܢܫ ܢܐܡܪ ܕܡܚܒ ܐܢܐ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܘܠܐܚܘܗܝ ܤܢܐ ܕܓܠܐ ܗܘ ܗܘ ܓܝܪ ܕܠܐܚܘܗܝ ܕܡܬܚܙܐ ܠܐ ܡܚܒ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܗܘ ܕܠܐ ܡܬܚܙܐ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܡܫܟܚ ܕܢܚܒ
21 And this commandment we have from God, that he, who loveth God, love also his brother.
ܘܗܢܐ ܦܘܩܕܢܐ ܩܒܠܢ ܡܢܗ ܕܟܠ ܕܡܚܒ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܢܚܒ ܐܦ ܠܐܚܘܗܝ
